Dali Temple.

Pei Yue put on his official uniform and sat at the table to flip through the case file.

There was a faint tingling sensation in his arm, not particularly painful, but also very presence.

Thinking of Zhao Wanning's advice yesterday, Pei Yue instructed his subordinates to ask for a doctor.

When Lu Chunnian arrived, he saw that Imperial Doctor Jiang was bandaging Pei Yue's arm.

"Master Pei, are you injured?" Lu Chunnian hurriedly took a few steps forward to Pei Yue's side and asked with concern.

With the imperial doctor present, Pei Yue couldn't say it directly, so he said: "It's late at night after finishing the case yesterday, and I will stay in Dali Temple." I never thought that in the middle of the night, I met a thief who broke into Dali Temple at night, and was accidentally scratched by him when chasing him. ”

Pei Yue said half-truths, there was indeed a man in black who sneaked into Dali Temple last night. Just before he could touch the Dali Temple Prison, he was caught.

Lu Chunnian saw Pei Yue glance at Imperial Doctor Jiang, and he understood, he said, "So that's the case." Since you are injured, Master Pei, you might as well go back and rest first. ”

Pei Yue shook his head, now that Dali Temple is in an eventful season, where can he go home to rest.

Besides, if he doesn't follow up on the case, there will be no reason to see Zhao Wanning.

Pei Yue was naturally unwilling.

Pei Yue and Master Li Wei are all the way, and they take the case first. Pei Yue was reluctant to go back to rest, and Lu Chunnian was not easy to persuade again.

Then Imperial Doctor Jiang helped Pei Yue bandage his wound and retreated.

Seeing that Imperial Physician Jiang had left, Lu Chunnian hurriedly closed the door, and then approached Pei Yue's side: "How was yesterday?" ”

Yesterday, Lu Chunnian originally wanted to go with Pei Yue, but Lu Chunnian was a completely weak scholar, if he really followed, Pei Yue would also go out of his way to protect him. Therefore, yesterday's action did not let Lu Chunnian go.

"Rescue those children safely. It's just that Uncle Zhong has a strong martial arts man under him, he is thoughtful, he saw through our plan, and almost let him run. ”

"Is he the one who injured your arm?"

Pei Yue nodded.

Lu Chunnian patted his heart and said happily: "Fortunately, I didn't go yesterday, otherwise I might have been the one who was injured." ”

Pei Yue ignored him and looked down at the file on the bookcase.

Lu Chunnian is a man of many words. Seeing that Pei Yue ignored him, he continued to talk: "Where did you send those children?" I'd like to see them another day, but I don't know if they're going to a new place......"

Pei Yue's mind moved, this was a good reason to go to see Zhao Wanning.

Lu Chunnian saw that the corners of Pei Yue's mouth were raised but ignored him, so he didn't hesitate and said, "Don't just laugh, tell me about it." ”

Pei Yue sat down and said, "I don't know where I sent it." ”

Lu Chunnian was full of question marks: "You rescued those children but you don't know where to send them, then you saved them in vain, what if the other party is also a ruthless person?" Aren't you sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger again? ”

Pei Yue looked up at Lu Chunnian and said seriously: "No, I believe her." ”

Lu Cunnian also knew that their Dali Temple really couldn't take in so many children, but fortunately, Pei Yue said that they could find someone to arrange a place for these children. But now when he asked Pei Yue about the whereabouts of those children, he didn't know anything, and he began to get anxious, for fear that Pei Yue would be gullible and hurt those children.

Lu Chunnian hurriedly asked: "You said that there are nobles to help you and take in those children, so who are the nobles?" Don't forget, that Uncle Zhong has a relationship with the ministers of the court, in case your noble person is also ......"

"She won't." Pei Yue interrupted Lu Chunnian.

Lu Chunnian was speechless: "Why do you trust people so much?" Brother Pei, I'm not talking about you, you have just entered the officialdom, you don't know how sinister this person's heart is. Some people have a snake heart, and you can't stop it. ”

Pei Yue didn't want to hide it anymore, he said leisurely: "That noble person is the county lord of Qinghe." ”

"It's hard for anyone." Lu Chunnian immediately answered, "Wait, who do you say?" ”

Pei Yue said word by word: "Zhao Wanning, the county lord of Qinghe." ”

"Huh?" Lu Chunnian opened his mouth in shock.

No wonder he was shocked, Zhao Wanning's reputation in the capital is not very good. What an unfilial mother, arrogant, bullying orphans. He'd heard about it.

Although Zhao Wanning brought that Tian Xiaocao to Dali Temple to redress her grievances last time, Lu Chunnian only felt that she was suddenly kind. Saving a little beggar is just a gesture for her, the county lord.

Lu Chunnian felt that there was nothing to say, but he could only say that Zhao Wanning still had one or two points of humanity. But it still can't change her image in the eyes of the world.

Pei Yue naturally didn't know what Lu Chunnian thought, he never believed those rumors from the outside world. Whether it is in the previous life or this life, in his heart, Zhao Wanning will always be the clean, gentle and kind little county lord.

He doesn't care what the world thinks of the county lord of Qinghe. Sometimes he even felt very fortunate that outsiders misunderstood Zhao Wanning, which gave him a chance to get close to Zhao Wanning.

This is a bit of a danger to say, but it was true in the previous life. If there was no boiling scandal, he would not have been able to marry Zhao Wanning.

Of course, reliving a lifetime, Pei Yue naturally hopes that Zhao Wanning can be safe. He knew that although Zhao Wanning said on his face that he was not surprised by people's opinions of her, he still had some minds in his heart. Now that he knew Zhao Wanning's thoughts, Pei Yue naturally wanted to do something for her.

Pei Yue explained: "It was the county lord of Qinghe who told me that I could arrange a place for those children. Before, we were able to find out who colluded with Uncle Zhong, and it was also because the county lord saved a little beggar, and the little beggar gave us clues. Now Tian Xiaocao and the little beggar are living in the eldest princess's mansion, and the county lord of Qinghe takes good care of them. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chunnian was dumbfounded, not only because the county lord of Qinghe had actually done so many things, but also because of Pei Yue's tone.

Although Lu Chunnian and Pei Yue have not known each other for a long time, in his impression, Pei Yue has always been a rational and sober person, and he has never been smiling, especially in this Dali Temple. Usually, Lu Chunnian is responsible for making Pei Yue and Li Wei laugh, so that they don't have a bitter face every day, especially Pei Yue, who always has a trace of sadness on his face.

Lu Chunnian originally thought that Pei Yue was a cold-hearted person, after all, he had a rough background, but he didn't want Pei Yue's expression to be so gentle when he talked about the county lord of Qinghe.

Lu Chunnian's gossip heart rose, he had an idea, this Lord Pei wouldn't like the county lord of Qinghe, right?

Pei Yue is already working at the desk.

Lu Chunnian walked around him, and suddenly he saw a touch of blood in Pei Yue's sleeve.

He thought that Pei Yue's wound had cracked, so he hurriedly rushed up and said, "Master Pei, your wound has cracked?" ”

Pei Yue raised his head and looked at him blankly.

Lu Chunnian started directly, and pulled out a blood-colored handkerchief from Pei Yue's sleeve.

The handkerchief was still stained with the fragrance of a woman, mixed with a hint of blood.

Lu Chunnian was a little embarrassed, he really didn't expect Pei Yue to carry a woman's handkerchief, and he stood beside Pei Yue with that handkerchief, not knowing what to do.

Pei Yue tugged the handkerchief, and then carefully stuffed it into his sleeve. He explained in a panic: "I was injured yesterday...... It was also for me to bandage my wounds. ”

Pei Yue said it quickly, and Lu Chunnian didn't hear it clearly at all, but when he thought about it, he knew that the owner of this handkerchief was probably the county lord of Qinghe.

How smart Lu Chunnian is. This handkerchief was originally a woman's private property, and if the handkerchief was passed on to Pei Yue, I am afraid it would damage the woman's innocence.

Lu Chunnian pretended not to know anything and said, "Master Pei, what are you talking about?" I didn't see anything just now. ”

Pei Yue was relieved to see that he was very good, and arched his hand: "Yuanqing thanked Brother Lu." ”

Lu Chunnian said with a smile: "Master Pei, Brother Pei, who are the two of us?" Thank you? ”

"You and Yuan Qing are far behind." Levi pushed open the door and walked in.

Pei Yue and Lu Chunnian greeted him: "Master Li." ”

Lu Chunnian said with a hippie smile: "I have a good relationship with Master Pei, how good it is for our colleagues to help each other." Mr. Li, you should be relieved to see it. ”

Li Wei glared at him and said, "Are you pushing your work to Yuan Qing again?" ”

Lu Chunnian hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't have it." I have sorted out all the dossiers you sent me to organize yesterday. Here. ”

Lu Chunnian pointed at Pei Yue: "Brother Pei is watching." ”

Pei Yue also picked up the case file in his hand and explained to Li Wei: "Chun Nian did a really good job, this case file was sorted out very carefully, and he also picked out many details. ”

Lu Chunnian was very happy when he heard Pei Yue's praise for him, and looked at Li Wei with his arms folded, looking like he had done good deeds and was waiting for praise.

Seeing this, Li Wei walked to Pei Yue's side in a few steps, picked up the case file and looked through it.

The case file belonged to the owner of the courtyard occupied by Uncle Guan Zhong, and there was a place in the case file circled by a red pen, which said that the owner of the courtyard had borrowed money from Uncle Zhong.

In this way, I am afraid that the cause of death of the owner of this courtyard is strange.

Li Wei glanced up at Lu Chunnian, and only after a moment did he say, "This time it's a good job." ”

Lu Chunnian was praised and was as happy as a puppy. If he had a tail, I'm afraid the tail would have to be thrown out by now.

Pei Yue and Li Wei saw that Lu Chunnian was so easily satisfied, so they looked at each other and smiled.

While the three of them were discussing the case, Lord Yan came.

Strictly wearing the official uniform of Dali Temple, it looks like he has just returned from the palace.

"I've seen Lord Yan." The three of them said in unison.

The stern expression is serious, and the head is slightly bowed.

He turned his head to look at Lu Chunnian and asked, "How is your younger brother in Qingzhou now?" ”

Lu Chunnian, who was suddenly named, was very surprised, he was already afraid of being stern, and he was always stern with a straight face, and whenever he saw him, he was the one who owed him thousands of taels of gold and didn't pay it back. Fortunately, Lu Chunnian is just a small comment, and he doesn't have to deal with Yan Yan directly on weekdays.

Lu Chunnian whispered: "My brother, Ah Zhi seems to have just arrived in Qingzhou, and I don't know what the specifics are." ”

Lu Chunzhi followed the minister to Qingzhou this time, but for some reason, he never came back with a family letter. Their mother had mentioned it a few times in the house, worried that Lu Chunzhi would not be able to take care of himself when he was outside.

Lu Chunzhi is the son-in-law of the Lu Mansion, and it is understandable that his father and mother attach importance to him.

After all, Lord Lu has been mixed in officialdom, so he naturally knows how troublesome this is in the public office. Besides, Lu Chunzhi went to Qingzhou for disaster relief, and no one in Qingzhou today knows what the situation is, and it is normal for him to be busy and not care about giving family heirlooms.

Lu Chunnian also thinks so, Lu Chunzhi is also half a minister, what can he do?

stern but suddenly spoke: "Qingzhou spies came to report that Lu Chunzhi was missing. ”
